Salah’s ‘Greed’ For Goals Propelled Liverpool To UCL Qualification — Klopp

By Daily sports on May 26, 2021

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is of the opinion that Mohamed Salah’s ‘greed’ for goals helped push the Reds to a top-four finish.

The Reds finished the 2020-21 season on a 10-game unbeaten run to secure Uefa Champions League football for next season.

Last season’s champions looked sure to miss out on a top-four finish, but won their last five games to finish the campaign in third spot and Klopp believes Salah’s desire to score goals played a huge part in driving the team up the table.

“It is easy to see where we would be without Mo’s goals. But that is also true for the other teams without the goals their top scorers score,” Klopp told reporters last week.

“The team helps him a lot but Mo carries a lot as well. It’s his desire, it’s his professionalism, it’s his greed as well which helps us completely.”

Salah, 28, ended the season with 31 goals in 51 matches across all competitions (22 in the Premier League) and Klopp reserved special praise for the Egyptian winger who has showcased a high level of consistency throughout his time at Anfield.

“It is a really top year for him because for a striker in a team which is not flying constantly, scoring these numbers is absolutely exceptional. That’s what makes him really special,” Klopp added. (African Football)
